Abstract

In recent years, great progress has been made in understanding biology and pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The key thing in disease pathogenesis is the apoptosis resistance of tumor cells. One of the main regulators of programmed cell death is the Bcl-2 family proteins. Important role of Bcl-2 protein in carcinogenesis made it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. This review focuses on venetoclax (a selective inhibitor of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein) in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Summary

Introduction

Опубликованы данные исследования, в которое были включены 127 пациентов с рецидивирующим или рефрактерным хроническим лимфоцитарным лейкозом, которым был назначен венетоклакс после прогрессирования на фоне терапии ибрутинибом. Отсутствие МОБ при оценке в периферической крови через 9 мес после окончания комбинированной терапии в рукаве VEN + R было в 62 %, в рукаве RB – в 13 % случаев.
